曾几何时，雅思口语写作达到6分非常的简单，随便扔几个背过的大词和长句子就能达到自己理想的分数。现在很多行业内的老师呼吁口语和作文不能再使用大词了，那么作为考生的我们到底该怎么办呢？且听我细说。
Josh也是一个考生，而且只相信让学生提高的真办法，哪怕这些方法来自竞争机构，我也是拥护的。而且如果同机构的老师传授的方法是错误的，我也会毫不犹豫的指出来。大家之所以“破财”，就是为了“免灾”，所以不让学生提分的方法，一定不是好方法。
说远了，各位同学请随我看一下雅思官方口语评分标准，在“单词L&R”里面7分标准的一项评分细则：“Uses some less common and idiomatic vocabulary and shows some awareness of style and collocation”
这里面“less common”是不常见的意思，“idiomatic vocabulary”是习语惯用语的意思，“collocation”是搭配的意思。 所以由此不难看出，雅思官方在口语中对大家的词汇使用是有一定的要求的。
那么是不是我们就该用大词？其实不是的，”非常见单词“的意思是“在生活当中常见，但是不经常使用的词汇”，比如有一种水果叫做“菠萝蜜-jackfruit”，绝大部分的考生都吃过，但是不会用英文说，因为我们平时学习英文单词的范围覆盖不到这个领域。但是这个词绝对不是一个大词，而这种词汇，却是雅思口语高分考生必备的绝杀词汇！现在考试热题"tell me about your favourite fruit"，在大家都说"banana, apple"的时候，你能用“jackfruit”和其他考生拉开层次，那一定就是高分了。
下面补充一些在口语中常见的“非常见词汇和地道的用法”
clockwork–每天做的都一样的事情
例句： As to me, housework has been a clockwork for me everyday, since I rented my own apartment.(Part 1 housework)
grass roots project–接地气的计划，草根计划
例句： I would never thought such a grass roots project could draw public attention, even some from celebrities. We were all so excited about this!(Part 2 A group project)
rock the boat–改变现状
例句： By winning this dreaming prize, I will definitely rock the boat. People will look at me with new eyes! (Part 2 A prize you want to win)
bitter truth–不幸的事实
例句： It is a bitter truth that I have to be friendly with her no matter how much I hate her. That's the untold rules in my department. (Part 2 A person you didn't like but have to be friendly with)
take small ,reliable steps–迈大步就会扯到蛋
例句： I have to do something to make a change about my shape and weight. My mom said I wouldn't need a mirror because one won't be enough if I carry on gain weight like this. So I have made myself a exercise timetable. Avoid making those ambitious tasks, I try to take small, reliable steps. ( Part 2 A thing that is good for health)
on the verge of doing–在…的边缘
例句： I hate this subject, it's a pain in my ass. Not only because it is complicated and troublesome, but also for my teacher who taught me biology. I am always on the verge of skipping the class when she begins the class for at most 5 minutes. ( Part 2 A subject you didn't like but like it now.)
